Dustin’s plan was simple. He wanted to capture the leaders before anything else. When

the battle started, he let Austin and the Draken Guardians take on the majority of the

enemy. Then, he would take the opportunity to attack the core and capture the Four

Northern Sovereigns.

With his abilities, he might not be able to fight the large troops, but he could easily

capture the leaders among the soldiers.

To prevent the Four Northern Sovereigns from running away, he kept his true potential

hidden when he first’ got into the battle. He wanted to show them that he was weak.

He kept this cover until Draven and Mortimer’s royal guards were lured away, at which

point he revealed his true abilities and captured both of them.

Now that Draven and Mortimer had been captured, he only had to deal with Atticus and

Ignatius. The army surrounding the castle would surrender when the two were captured.

“It’s your turn now!” Dustin focused his gaze, and as soon as he found them, he charged

toward them with his sword.

“Quick! Stop him!”

“Over here! Hurry! Don’t let him get any closer!”

Atticus and Ignatius were shouting for help, looking panicked. They had seen many skilled

fighters on the battlefield. Yet, even the best fighters would die when surrounded.

However, this assassin was completely different. Instead of showing signs of fatigue, he

was getting better and more formidable by the minute!

It was unbelievable that the troop of at least a few thousand soldiers couldn’t stop the

lone assassin!

This person was comparable to Seth Hughes, the Sword Whisperer. When did the West

Lucozian monarchy acquire such a skilled fighter?

“Protect the sovereigns!”

Atticus and Ignatius’ royal guards quickly formed a defensive formation in hopes of

slowing Dustin down when they saw him rushing toward them with an unstoppable

momentum.

They knew that they were unable to Dustin. They only wanted to buy more, time for

Atticus and Ignatius to escape safely.

“Sir! Ignore the commotion! Get in the car!”

A few trusted royal guards pushed Atticus and Ignatius into the car without hesitation.

They had already sealed the roads around the castle when they surrounded it. There

would be no obstruction on the road, and their journey should be smooth sailing.

The royal guards only had to hold on for a few minutes longer for Atticus and Ignatius to

get to a safe area and hide. It wouldn’t be too late if they showed up after the soldiers had

killed the assassin.

“Not so fast!” When he saw them leaving, Dustin swung his sword, and it transformed into

a dark light. He dashed forward, aiming toward the car.

“Ultimate defense!”

A few hundred royal guards threw their weapons away and drew their shields, forming a

sturdy human wall. They knew they couldn’t fight the enemy and had chosen to defend

with full force.

“Get lost!” Dustin didn’t avoid it and crashed right into the human wall.

His sword danced, and blood splattered on the ground. Wherever his blade struck,

everything would be split into halves. It didn’t matter if it was a human or a shield.

Even though he was unstoppable, it was obvious that there was more resistance. Dustin’s

speed had been slowed down significantly.

“Hold your ground! We must not retreat!” the leaders of the royal guards shouted to their

team.

They were buying time with the lives of other human beings. However, their difference in

strength was obvious.

They could all sacrifice themselves, but they still wouldn’t be able to stop Dustin’s attack.

They could, at most, slow him down.

“Start the car! Start it now!” Atticus and Ignatius cried urgently in the car.

One of the royal guards got into the driver seat, revved the engine, and floored the

accelerator. The car drove away like a cheetah sprinting and left the battlefield quickly.

The people in the car let out a long sigh of relief as they got further away from the

battlefield.

“Fuck! That was dangerous! We were so close to being captured!”
